This must surely be the final nail in RealPlayer's coffin. The BBC is the only service I can think of that's provided RealPlayer streams since about 2005.
Does anybody know of any other big hold-outs?
Most universities that publish lectures online will have at least one (but sometimes all) of their courses in realplayer format. They also love quicktime for some equally unknown reason.
The ABC in Australia still offers RealPlayer streams...
14 years of buffering...
Great. Now if only Ireland's RTE could follow suit. They actually show ads in Flash video, which any browser can show, and then switch to Real for the actual content.
